Name: Quercus alba - Fagus grandifolia Flatwoods & Swamp Forest Alliance
Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019
Description: The canopies of stands of this alliance may contain <i>Acer saccharum, Acer rubrum, Fagus grandifolia, Liriodendron tulipifera, Quercus alba, Quercus bicolor, Quercus michauxii, Quercus macrocarpa, Quercus palustris</i>, and <i>Ulmus americana</i>. It is found in the northern Piedmont of New Jersey and the Chesapeake region of Maryland, Delaware, and the District of Columbia, as well as in the eastern Great Lakes region. Its habitats include flat to gently sloping sites with imperfectly to poorly drained soils. An impermeable layer beneath the topsoil slows drainage, often resulting in wet soil conditions. In droughty periods, the upper soil dries out, and the impermeable subsoil limits the availability of deeper water sources. In the eastern Great Lakes region, stands of this alliance occur on loess-covered glacial drift of Illinoisan age or over Wisconsin age till.
